Yup. I'll concur with that story about Beppo. With me, it was when I saw him with Abercrombie in Cambridge, Ma. a bunch of years ago. Also, I think Beppo just...
I notice that Solstice has been released on CD several different times and it seems (based on pre-order info from amazon.com) that ECM is about to release it...
I don't think there's any difference between the albums. There seems to be a number of currently out-of-print ECM releases. And I don't mean the usual,...
It's never been out of print - just out of distribution in the US. ECM discs, for the most part, never go out of print direct from the label, only here where...
Sandy, I'll accept your challenge. 1. Joyful Departure 2. Green and Golden 3. Icarus 4. Juniper Bear* 5. Anthem 6. The Silence of a Candle 7. Jamaica Stopover ...
Ralph Towner said about the song "Beppo" in a concert on Slovenian TV: " I named that after a little dog I had when I was 3 years old. Unfortunately it was cut...
Nice list-- I'll have to have a real think on this one!! :) Ed ************** Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. ...
Nice list and I'd hesitate a guess that it would be about 90% accurate after any poll of Ralph's top tunes (we can argue about the ordering) One tune I'd put...
No, Mauro, you can't add to a top 10 list. You have to replace two songs with the two you added. The challenge is still yours! Rick ... From: Mauro Namías ...
Ok Rick! I take the challenge! Here`s my top 10: Les Douzilles Icarus Zephyr When the fire burns low Waterwheel Green and Golden Joyfull Departure Along the...
Well, it was damn hard to get it down to ten, and there's no way I can put the ten in order, but here it is. Beneath an Evening Sky Hand in Hand Nimbus The...

... Condensing this guy's best stuff into a top-10 list proves too daunting for me when it comes to someone as prolific as Towner. Top 20? Yeah, perhaps. I...
OK, after reading these lists, I want to contribute my Towner Shadow Top Ten -- fantastic tracks that some people have either probably forgotten or possibly...
Not the Towner Top Ten, but ten of the top Towner, in no particular order ... Oceanus Castle Walk Rumours of Rain Take Heart Green and Golden If Distant Hills...
... I'm glad to see someone included the quintessential piano piece, "Hand in Hand". That has to have the most compelling syncopated chord progression of all...

Great lists. I'm incapable of a top ten, maybe a top twenty. Somebody included Ralph's Piano Waltz - which is by Abercrombie - but that's cool. It somehow fits...

Hi everyone, It's very hard for me to choose 10 tunes of Ralph Towner!! For me, his whole work is really amazing and very beautiful and I don't want to make a...
... **NIce choices!! I like both of the Solstice albums a lot too. 'Batik,' 'Solstice' (1st one) & '5 Years Later' (that w. Aberchrombie) would be my top ...
